(108,995 posts)211. Can you read his mind? That's interesting.
I don't think there's any reason to look for anything beyond what he wrote. He's angry with her because her support for Sanders became less than full-throated, and she was criticizing some of his supporters about their approach to black people. And he wanted her to shut up.

Always liked Bravenak. I wonder if she could hire a Private Detective to find out

Nobody deserves to be treated like she was, and I hope we somehow catch the perp.

A big cyber hug and 'hi' to you, Bravenak. Stay as fearless and forthright as you are!

I think so too. I think the letter writer would be a person who loves the attention, even negative.

HUGS! This is shocking. I am sorry that someone doesn't have any conscience. Take care

The letter scumbag could be the same scumbag just arrested for terrorism in Florida.

Lots and lots of us are hoping you'll be back soon, Bravenak. A big, long hug to you.

Clue for folks who do not understand why some people can't "see beyond" race/gender etc.

I think a percentage of people always vote to hide people who support the opponent

She did support Sanders, but she was also expressing frustration with his not connecting
